Many physicians in attendance wearing their white coats, Billionaires for Wealthcare, Anti-War activists, musicians, and tea-partiers. Greepeace was there with a bright red presence - banners, t-shirts, and signs. The right-wingers or whatever you want to call them seem to be anti-tax. I believe the consensus is however, that we all do need healthcare - the problem is how to pay for it. There is major difference of opinion on this question. I overheard a fellow say, "You need to work for it." I disagree. We need to fight for it!
